More about Stonehenge
Stonehenge: A Mystical Journey Through Time
Planning a visit to Stonehenge? You're in for a treat that'll transport you back 5,000 years. This iconic stone circle, perched on Salisbury Plain in Wiltshire, England, is a must-see for history buffs, mystery lovers, and anyone captivated by ancient wonders.
Why Visit Stonehenge?
• Walk in the footsteps of Neolithic ancestors
• Marvel at the engineering feat of massive sarsen stones
• Unravel the mysteries of its celestial alignments
• Experience solstice celebrations like no other
Getting There:
Located just off the A303, Stonehenge is easily accessible by car. For a more relaxed journey, hop on a train to Salisbury, then catch the Stonehenge Tour Bus. Book your Stonehenge Tour tickets in advance to avoid disappointment.
Best Time to Visit:
Summer solstice (June 20-22) offers a magical experience, but expect crowds. For a quieter visit, aim for weekday mornings in spring or autumn. The site is open year-round, except on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day.
What to Expect:
As you approach, the massive stone circle emerges from the landscape, a sight that's captivated visitors for centuries. The new visitor center provides context with its exhibition of Neolithic houses and artifacts. Don't miss the chance to step inside a replica Neolithic house – it's like time travel without the DeLorean!
Insider Tips:
• Book tickets in advance through the English Heritage website to skip the queue
• Download the free audio guide app before arrival
• Bring a windproof jacket – it can get blustery on the plain
• Pack a picnic to enjoy in the designated areas
Nearby Attractions:
Make a day of it by visiting the charming cathedral city of Salisbury or exploring the prehistoric landscape of Avebury, home to the world's largest stone circle. Discover more Wiltshire attractions to round out your trip.
FAQs:
Q: Can I touch the stones?
A: Generally, no. However, special access tours allow closer encounters outside regular hours.
Q: How long does a visit take?
A: Allow 2-3 hours to fully experience Stonehenge and the visitor center.
Q: Is Stonehenge wheelchair accessible?
A: Yes, the site offers accessible paths and facilities.
Stonehenge isn't just a pile of old rocks – it's a window into our ancestors' world, a testament to human ingenuity, and a place where the past feels tantalizingly close. Whether you're drawn by its ancient mysteries, its astronomical alignments, or simply its iconic silhouette, Stonehenge promises an unforgettable encounter with history. So pack your curiosity, charge your camera, and prepare for a journey through time at one of England's most extraordinary landmarks.

Reviews for Day Trip From London to Stonehenge, Bath & Cotswolds
Had a great experience...
Ajay_M
Had a great experience with Zaf as our tour guide. Very informative about the sights and kept us on schedule. Our toddler got car sick along the way and he was very understanding and was equipped for cleanup instantly
Wonderful way to see the outskirts of London
Rachel_M
We loved seeing the countryside and having a private driver. The day was amazing and the driver accommodated our requests perfectly!
Two Wonderful Spots
Bill_W
Tariq led us on a full day of exploring Stonehenge and Bath, and two added spots as well. Very professional, and we had a phenomenal day. We highly recommend this experience.
Best private tour seeing all the sights in comfort and on schedule
darlawinland
We booked the private day tour to see Stonehenge, Bath and Cotswolds. We were picked up promptly by Tanvir and were delighted to ride in his pristine Tesla with full glass roof view which really added to the experience of being able to see more on the tour. Tanvir was an excellent driver and guide and kept us on schedule to accomplish seeing all the sights on our agenda. Tanvir shared insights about the sights and areas we were passing through. He was kind and attentive stopping for rest breaks and coffee as needed. At the end of our day Tanvir dropped us off at a pub for our dinner reservations and this helped us make it on time and end our day perfectly. I highly recommend Tanvir as a driver/guide and his beautiful Tesla automobile. Thank you Tanvir :)
Must see!

Get to Stonehenge early. Pay to go inside the Roman Baths in Bath. So much history.
Our driver was very friendly, accommodating and informative.
